HIV Prevention for People Releasing from Incarceration: A Qualitative Pre-implementation Study.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRelease from prison or jail is a high-risk time for HIV acquisition, yet prior efforts to expand access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and other HIV prevention services for people releasing from jail or prison have faced substantial implementation barriers.
objectiveCharacterize the implementation landscape for HIV prevention for people releasing from prison or jail in Washington State, gathering input from staff at carceral institutions and community-based organizations to inform implementation of evidence-based HIV prevention strategies.
designQualitative study.
participantsHealthcare and reentry staff in prisons and jails (n = 15) and staff at community-based organizations that may serve people releasing from jail or prison (n = 20), selected through chain referral sampling. APPROACH: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted to theoretical saturation, then coded using a mixed inductive-deductive approach, based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. KEY
resultsCarceral institutions had few programs aimed specifically at HIV prevention. Carceral institutions had PrEP available but did not offer it widely, focusing on behavioral health or acute medical needs. Some community-based organizations offered PrEP or other forms of HIV prevention, but many focused on meeting basic needs or building community. Five themes characterized the implementation landscape for HIV prevention: 1) primacy of basic needs means HIV prevention is lower priority, 2) adding HIV prevention programming would require new funding, 3) differences in culture and philosophy influence interest in providing PrEP, 4) disconnection between carceral institutions and providers in the community limits linkage to care, 5) organizations balance protecting confidentiality while coordinating care.
conclusionRather than directly focusing on HIV prevention, carceral institutions and community-based organizations often focused on substance use disorder treatment, and there are opportunities to integrate additional HIV prevention education and interventions into substance use care. Closer relationships between carceral institutions and community organizations may improve care coordination but would require staff capacity.
